A sleek, compact design makes this pitcher efficient and portable.

Purified water is a powerful way to keep your whole body revitalized and uplifted.

Compact, Efficient, and Portable
Thanks to its slim, compact design, the Brita Slim Pitcher can be stored in narrow spaces like refrigerator doors, avoiding the hassle of sacrificing valuable shelf space. Despite its compact size, the pitcher holds up 40 fluid ounces of water, the equivalent of five 8-ounce glasses. The sleek design makes for effortless transport, refilling, and pouring.

Reduces Impurities and Cuts Down on Chlorine Taste
The pitcher's included Ion Exchange Resin filter acts as a magnet for impurities that are often found in tap water, such as lead, copper, mercury, cadmium, and zinc. The filter removes these impurities, reducing their potentially harmful effects. The filtering process also reduces that taste and odor of chlorine, thanks to special sponge-like filtration system.

The end result is clean, better tasting water that is healthier for everyone. This is especially good news for children and pregnant or nursing women who are more susceptible to potential harm from lead and other impurities. Filters should be changed every 40 gallons or two months and are not intended for use with microbiologically unsafe water.

All Brita Pitchers are universally compatible with Brita Pitcher Replacement Filters.

Maxtra Water Filter Cartridge At a Glance: Reduces chlorine taste and odor Reduces heavy metals, agricultural chemicals, and industrial pollutants Features silverized filter media to inhibit bacteria growth Filters 40 gallons of water--the equivalent of 300 bottles 100% recyclable

MAVEA water filter cartridge with MAXTRA filtration technology provides cleaner, great-tasting filtered water.

Superior Components Lead to Great-Tasting Water
Each MAVEA Maxtra water filter cartridge is certified--by WQA to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53--to significantly minimize chlorine taste, odor, as well as water contaminants, such as heavy metals, agricultural chemicals, and industrial pollutants. The cartridge's smart design maximizes contact time with tap water to ensure your filtered water tastes fresh and clean, as water should.

The filter media is treated with silver to discourage the growth of bacteria and maximize filter's life. In addition, a micro-screen in the filter reduces the release of black carbon particles. No presoaking is required to activate the filter, which offers consistent flow and filtration throughout its lifespan.

Designed for More Convenience
The new design starts with an easy grip ring on the top of the filter for easy installations and removals. Once in the system, the filter is ready to go, as pre-soaking is not required to activate the carbon. A micro-screen inside the filter reduces those annoying little black carbon bits from escaping into the system.

Toast to Cleaner Water and a Greener Planet
The MAVEA Maxtra filter not only delivers great filtration and ease of use but is also . Americans send an estimated 38 billion water bottles to landfills each year. In comparison, each MAVEA water filter equals approximately 300 bottles of water--without the associated waste.

MAVEA is the only water filter company that offers a comprehensive filter recycling program. Consumers can easily recycle used filters at recycling bins located in participating stores, or by sending them directly through the mail at MAVEA's expense. The company recycles the used filters at its facility, where the components are separated, cleaned, and reused in commercial non-food filter applications--you can be sure absolutely no parts will end up in a landfill.
